I just picked up a 97 gt. it's suppose to be for my lady but car is really nice so I might keep it. I'm just wondering if any one has done some power upgrades to an auto 4.6. Any ideas would be good. Car is stock. I'll be happy getin something below a 14 at the track

P.I. swap should be your first priority.

LoL- I feel the same but he's gotta start somewhere. I dont roll 4.6 power unless its 4 valve. I had a 96 Gt some years ago and boy, was that thing a slug, especially compared to my 03 Cobra.

Give it to your lady you wont be happy for long..

I bought my 96gt with only lowering springs a kn filter and flows,
Now its got a 97 cobra motor with bolt ons exhaust and suspension, but i went full bolt on npi first...waste of time and money.

Watch the classifieds 4v's come up all the time. Mine might be up there soon.
